À propos de cet audio

Delaney Nichols has settled so comfortably into her new life in Edinburgh that she truly feels it's become more home than her once beloved Kansas. Her job at the Cracked Spine, a bookshop that specializes in rare manuscripts as well as other sundry valuable historical objects, is everything she had dreamed. Her latest task includes a trip to Castle Doune to retrieve a hard-to-find edition of an old Scottish comic, an "Oor Wullie", in a cloak-and-dagger transaction that Edwin has orchestrated.

While taking in the sights, Delaney is startled to spot a sandal-clad foot at the other end of the roof. Unfortunately the foot's owner is dead and, based on the William Wallace costume he's wearing, perfectly matches the description of the man who was supposed to bring the Oor Wullie. As Delaney rushes to call off approaching tourists and find the police, she comes across the Oor Wullie. Instinct tells her to take the pages and hide them under her jacket. It's not until she returns to the Cracked Spine that she realizes just how complicated this story is and endeavors to untangle the tricky plot of why someone wanted this man dead, all before getting herself booked for murder.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"The Edinburgh and greater Scotland settings are lovingly woven through the story, which includes details of literature and Scottish history. In this first-person account, Delaney is a bright, sympathetic figure surrounded by well-drawn secondary characters." ( Booklist)

Book shop dream team

I loved how this one was a who dun it type of book, mixing the past and present together to create a great flow of the story. Showing a lot more trust in each other and building on the family dynamics that will hopefully grow more. Story has good pacing, each character has their own voice, smooth reader looking forward to the next.

Annoying storytelling

I was hoping the second book would be better because trust had been established between the "girl from Kansas" and the bookshop owner in theory but oy vey, clearly not! It's a frustrating to listen to as it just spirals around "oh I can't tell you because of some secret", annoying internal thought train/Listen for the bookish voices, "oh don't trust the police" while " tell the police!" and then it's all " oh okay, fine I'll tell you" it's just that or some combination of on a very obnoxious repeat. The general story is good, but the finer story telling is very hard to listen to. I had to listen to it sped up just to make it through. The bookish voices were a neat idea that I don't feel really fits this realistic world, it's more of a magical world idea.
